Why is that object lit up on the face opposite the Sun?

Well, thatīs what Iīm thinking as well.

Thereīs clearly something there, but it might just be something on the telescope lens of something like this.

If the object was actually a spherical object close to the sun, it would receive the light from the sun, not from the opposed direction.

Also, if it was an actual planet like object close to the sun, we would perceive variations in its illumination, accordingly to different levels of sun activity.

It think itīs something with the camera, a really small scratch, some kind of fiber, dust or something like that.
